QSIA's Karen Collard says fishers have lacked confidence in the past in the management of Queensland's fisheries

A review of Queensland's fisheries management has been welcomed by the peak lobby group, the Queensland Seafood Industry Association's chair, Karen Collard who says fishers are looking forward to increased certainty about the regulatory environment in which they operate. Mrs Collard says fishers are looking forward to a reduction in red tape and might be more inclined to work toward a consensus on major decisions as a result of less contradiction and confusion in legislation and the regulatory environment in which they operate.
